Hello Andrzej,
Honestly, at least in 1990 Banjul was one of the most disgusting cities I've seen, but you couldn't tell from this picture. A perfectly composed and cropped picture, very colourful and lively, really depicting African life. And the dirt can't be seen or smelled ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Andrzej,
Great looking colorful scene, very well captured.
I've seen Gert's note and I guess it is good that we can only see what is on the photo.
Thanks!
Brano

Hello Andrzej,
The composition is cluttered and messy.....but that's a good thing here, as it provides a natural and realistic view of life in this African city. What this image also shows is the fantastic colour these people have in their clothing....because many do not own much else, they show their little wealth and their individualism in their choice of clothing. You've done well to capture the clarity from the ferry, which is not easy on the moving water. Well odne.
Cheers Grant

Hi Andrzej,
A good sharp documentary image with lots to look at, full of colours and life. It looks very windy that day.

hi Andrzej

I guess you were on this trip for holiday? Gambia, that is quite a place to go. Very interesting colorful dress of the people at the beach. You showed a great daily life of the Gambians here. Good work.

tfs, bill

Hello Andrzej. A good shot, which places the important into the center. Everything works very exotically. Water, people, palms, - a good mix. Beautifully and worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Andrzej
I prefer this photo to your previous photo as you have cropped out the ugly (and I guess unnecessary) buildings behind. You are left with a frame full of colour and action - even the water is choppy and active! A great photo in the true sense of TE - teaching us about the world through photography. And so tfs, Marlene

hI Andrzej, A wonderful, colourful composition of a far away place, which most of us will certainly never see with our own eyes. The bright clothes stand out from the unpainted buildings beyond. It is a little bit similar to a village we visited on the southern coast of Kalimantan. TFS. Murray.

Hi Andrzej, A very full daily life photo with lots for the eye to see, the array of colour are superb & I love all the people just getting on with their daily business & not looking at the lens, it gives off a great natural feel, the palms offer a wonderful backdrop & TFS it's a truly nice picture, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Andrzej,

Nicely colourful as one expects in Africa.
I personally prefer this version, without the grey city background. This gives something to fill in by the viewer himself.

Greetings,
Dennis

Czesc Andrzej,
Very interesting capture of the clothes of people waiting for fresh fish, though it seems that the sharpness on the leaves is a little bit strong. i didn't know it is not hot there despite Africa.
Regards, Hisashi

Angrzej,
Another really wonderful daily life image, so much to see and observed, Exotic location, colors, landacape and way of life. Good composition and POV showing all the activities and house they live in. It look very windy. Thanks, this is really good documentary type image, something we see on National Geographic
